In reply to the discussion: Julian Assange says victorious Obama ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’ [View all]davidn3600
(6,342 posts)76. Apparently many here think Obama should be immune from criticism
Americans should always question their government. I don't give a shit what party is in power. You keep the government honest and transparent by asking questions and being critical. This is a country by the people, of the people, for the people. It's our duty to ask questions.
America comes before the Democratic party. If Obama is covering up a lie or breaking the law, he should be called out on it. Just because he's a Democrat doesn't mean he should be immune from criticism. And just because you criticize him doesnt mean you are a Republican.
People here are just as bad as Republicans with this "if you are not with us, you are against us" bullshit. That's not the way politics is supposed to work in this country.
